About our bath re-enamelling in West Town
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Town
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in West Town
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
